Debate on Enhanced Interrogation

Enhanced interrogation techniques have sparked significant moral controversy, particularly regarding their use in national security. John Yoo, a former attorney, advocates for their use in extracting information from terrorists, arguing that saving lives may justify these methods. He reflects on his past participation in defending these techniques and contrasts it with the views of those who label them as torture. Discussing the differing perspectives, he emphasizes the need for a stronger debate around the ethical implications versus the potential consequences of inaction during terrorist threats.
